Overview
PerformYard is a dedicated performance-management platform for HR teams, covering employee reviews, goal management, 360/peer feedback, continuous check-ins and reporting. It is a point solution that syncs employee data from external HRIS/payroll systems rather than handling payroll, benefits or applicant tracking itself. Implementation help and a dedicated success manager are included, with optional add-ons for engagement, surveys, meetings and AI.
The problem PerformYard solves
HR teams often run performance reviews and goal-tracking in spreadsheets and email, which is manual, inconsistent and hard to document. PerformYard centralizes reviews, goals, 360 feedback and continuous check-ins into one configurable workflow that syncs employee data from existing HRIS/payroll systems. It aims to reduce HR administrative burden while giving managers and employees a structured, ongoing performance process.
